Apple has released its financial results for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025 – and they are impressive. The Cupertino-based company achieved new records in revenue, iPhone sales, and earnings per share. Its services division also reached an all-time high. This concludes a strong year for Apple with solid growth in almost every area.
The fourth quarter is traditionally one of the most important for Apple, as it marks the end of the fiscal year and the start of the crucial holiday season. Accordingly, there is great interest in the figures. The company demonstrates once again that its strategy of high-quality hardware, a growing services business, and consistent customer loyalty is paying off. Particularly noteworthy is that Apple simultaneously launched new products and still achieved a record quarter – a sign of stability and sustainable growth.
Record sales and strong profit growth
In the fourth quarter of 2025, Apple generated revenue of $102.5 billion, representing an 8% increase compared to the same quarter of the previous year. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) reached $1.85, a 13% year-over-year increase. This meant that Apple set several records in the so-called September quarter – in total revenue, iPhone sales, and earnings per share.
CEO Tim Cook stated that Apple was proud to have achieved record revenue in the September quarter, including new highs for iPhone and services. The results clearly demonstrate that Apple is benefiting from strong product demand and a stable services business.
New products are driving growth.
In September, Apple launched its most comprehensive iPhone generation to date. The iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, and iPhone Air models formed the core of the new product lineup. The AirPods Pro 3 and the new Apple Watch line were also introduced at the same time. Tim Cook described these devices as the company's best product range ever.
Furthermore, Apple expanded its offerings in the Mac and iPad segments. The new MacBook Pro and iPad Pro, featuring the powerful M5 chip, demonstrate the company's consistent commitment to its own chip architecture. This combination of performance, energy efficiency, and ecosystem integration was a key factor in Apple's strong results for the September quarter.
Services reach new highs
Besides hardware, the services business was also a key growth driver. Revenue in this segment reached a new record high. Key areas include the App Store, Apple Music, iCloud, and Apple TV. The double-digit growth in this segment underscores how successfully Apple is expanding its platform strategy. This is enabling the company to become increasingly independent of traditional hardware cycles.
Record year concluded
Chief Financial Officer Kevan Parekh emphasized that the fourth quarter capped off a record year. For the full fiscal year 2025, Apple achieved revenue of $416 billion and double-digit growth in earnings per share. These figures reflect strong demand and high customer satisfaction. The installed base of active devices reached new record highs across all product categories and regions – a clear indication of continued user loyalty and the strength of the Apple ecosystem.
Dividend confirmed and payment scheduled
The board of directors approved a cash dividend of $0.26 per common share. It will be paid on November 13, 2025, to all shareholders registered on November 10, 2025. This continues Apple's consistent dividend policy and strengthens investor confidence.
Apple ends the year with records and strong growth
Apple closes fiscal year 2025 with record results. The company is growing in all key areas – from iPhones, Macs, and iPads to services like Apple Music and iCloud. At the same time, Apple demonstrates a strong financial position and continues to invest in innovation, product diversity, and sustainability. With total revenue of $416 billion, a significant increase in profits, and a growing user base, Apple reinforces its position as one of the world's most successful technology companies.
